Slender, glowing with health, Vanessa Hudgens doesn't look like the stereotype of a homeless person who subsists on a diet of scavenged food. But Vanessa wanted to understand her role in the film, "Give Me Shelter," in which her character "ends up as this pregnant, homeless teen shelter that's actually ran in New Jersey by a woman." To achieve that goal, she "actually went and stayed in the shelter for two weeks before I started filming, so I mean like, I lived there with all the girls, with all the kids, so I think that it's really interesting because you find so much more about yourself," she told Rachael Ray today on Rachael's show.
What else did she do for this challenging role as a pregnant, homeless teen? Vanessa told Rachael that she "actually cut my own hair for this movie, I did that to myself, yes I did."
But it's not all sacrifice for this young actress. Vanessa's future fitness plan? Skydiving, she told Rachael. "What a great sky dive that would be, me, Jay Leno, and you, how amazing! We need to get a massive group together, and we will all do it! Oh my God, it's like, it's so peaceful, and you hear the wind and I actually went when the sun was setting over the water and the moon was out and open and it's like that moment, its just "Oh My God, I can't believe this is happening!"
